Children's Sabbath

Children's Sabbath 2018

October - December 2018
Realizing Dr. King’s Vision for Every Child:
Lives of Hope, Not Despair”

The North Alabama Conference Connection to the Pan Methodist Campaign for Children in Poverty invites you and your congregation to Celebrate Children’s Sabbath.

Children’s Sabbath is different from a Children’s Sunday. Children’s Sabbath does celebrate your congregation’s children, but it also is a time (during worship, study, outreach) to invite our congregations to focus on the realities of children beyond our congregation. Children’s Sabbath is a way for our congregations to help children thrive – not just survive – the systems and circumstances impacting their young lives. If October doesn’t work for your church, then pick ANY Sunday before December 31 to celebrate Children’s Sabbath.
